Product information for Vitals R-Alfaliponzuur 100 mg: Application of Vitals R-Alfaliponzuur 100 mg: Alpha-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant, both fat- and water-soluble, active throughout the body, including the brain. Our bodies produce small amounts of alpha-lipoic acid, but its production decreases as we age.There are two forms of alpha-lipoic acid: R-alpha-lipoic acid (the natural, endogenous form) and S-alpha-lipoic acid (the synthetic form). Most products on the market are a mixture of these two. S-alpha-lipoic acid does not occur naturally and is foreign to the body, potentially making the R-form less effective. Therefore, a supplement consisting entirely of the natural R-form is preferred. The problem with R-alpha-lipoic acid, however, is that it is quite unstable and temperature-sensitive. Manufacturer GeroNova has therefore developed bio-enhanced sodium R-lipoate, in which R-alpha-lipoic acid is bound to the mineral sodium. This makes the R-form much more stable and has optimal bioavailability. As a result, lower doses of sodium R-lipoate are sufficient than with a supplement containing the mixture (usually 50% R- and 50% S-alpha-lipoic acid).Composition of Vitals R-Alfaliponzuur 100 mg: Each capsule (= daily dose) contains: R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (from Bio-enhanced Sodium R-lipoate) 100 mg Sodium R-lipoate is the biologically active and stabilized form of alpha-lipoic acid.
